Joyce DiDonato Master Class January 2016: Bellini’s “Vi ravviso, o luoghi” from La sonnambula

[@DavidBrowningBYD]

I love how intelligent this young man is. I love how he actually discusses the real points talked about, instead of saying "Yes" to everything, like some people do, to show they understand rather than to really work on understanding. And his voice was so much more engaged when he started following dear Joyce's advice!

Joyce DiDonato does the best masterclasses. The result is instantaneous. I would love to attend one of her masterclasses. She has such an open way of sharing her knowledge. It is masterfull.

That’s exactly the problems I have had with aria. Time to relearn. Wonderful ;)

[@Cogitoergothijs]

Very powerful teaching...... he clearly sang better after each clue ... amazing talent... beautiful voice...great teacher

[@DiomedesDioscuro]

A teacher that tells an OPERA SINGER not to have a big voice? Really?

[@aemuth8235]

@@DiomedesDioscuroof course! big voices do not come from aiming at bigness but from good relaxed technique!

[@DiomedesDioscuro]

@@aemuth8235 I guess that's why you don't hear much of Di Donato's voice of you don't sit in the first rows...

[@DanyelHawkes]

These vids should have less post production like the heavy added reverb, that way the listener can get an accurate representation of how the singer really sounds. Also 18:19 this is not verdi.

I actually liked his performance, considering he had already lerned this aria. His voice is great and in the Sarastro's video that she's mentioned, his execution at the end was amazing - one of the best that I've ever seen! I totally agree with Didonato when she sad that he had chosen a heavy way to sing and he absolutely didn't need that to show how great his voice is. But as a bass myself, I can confirm that singing on "ee" is not comfortable as for other voices and I'd love to know why. By the way, when he sings with more control his voice has the same "bass quality" but in "bel canto" style.

[@luisfernandogalindo1634]

He have a better speaking voice than sang.

[@deadwalke9588]

Yeah, he's not a bass but instead a baritone.

[@DioquinoE]

I feel like this could have been said with less words and faster. Also...phrasing? Forward motion? Okay...maybe later.

[@stashikjelisjeev]

Про большие голоса чистая правда!!! Я сам имею большой голос и это даже немного мешает)))

[@dannac_8888]

Can you feel his resistance? Ugh! It's exhausting to watch and listen to...I need a nap now.

[@Tkimba2]

He s right. Her teaching is terrible

[@DiomedesDioscuro]

@@Tkimba2 At least someone realises!

se hai un voce piccola devi averla più grande...se hai una voce giovane devi averla più matura...se hai una voce matura devi averla più giovane...ma per favore...pensate al fraseggio .

[@cesarezappa7574]

hai ragione!!

[@bodiloto]

un basso deve appoggiare la sua voce sul petto . come si fa ? un mistero grande per lo studente e ancora più grande per la maestra ... . impostazione della voce sbagliatissima . vocalità poco adatta à questo capolavoro . trovo tutto questo poco serio e ancora meno professionale .

[@cesarezappa7574]

[@Tkimba2]

Pointless lesson

[@AQworldsined36]

how so?

But 14 KF shown directly while vibrato

[@cesarezappa7574]

il ragazzo ha una voce importante pero' purtroppo non sa cantare

[@DiomedesDioscuro]

She's a bad singer, but a much worse teacher. It's like she's trying to ruin them all. So sad.
